Saturday's clear skies over the southeastern United States allowed SeaWiFS to collect this view around noon. Smoke from fires in the Appalachians is no longer readily discernible at one-kilometer resolution. (Reports indicate that recent rains have helped contain the fires.) Sensor: OrbView-2/SeaWiFS. Data Start Date: 11/11/00.

What will climate conditions around the world be like on Christmas Day (2001)? The image above represents a recent prediction made by a sophisticated new computer model. Developed by NASA's Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction Program (NSIPP), this model actually links together three models in one: one each for geophysical dynamics within the atmosphere, oceans, and lands.The colors in the ocean represent a departure from average surface temperature. Red pixels show where the model predicts there...

Air quality across the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States is less than ideal in late June 2002. Much of the pollution is likely smoke from forest fires in the West and fires in Canada’s prairie provinces to the north. Since the dominant weather patterns across the country move air from west to east, it is not uncommon for air quality along the East Coast to be affected by fires out West.This series of images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)...

During the early introduction of rockets to Europe, they were used only as weapons. Enemy troops in India repulsed the British with rockets. Later, in Britain, Sir William Congreve developed a rocket that could fire to about 9,000 feet. The British fired Congreve rockets against the United States in the War of 1812.

The Army Ballistic Missile Agency incorporated the von Braun team in key positions with Dr. von Braun as a head of the Development Operations Division. On October 4, 1957, the Nation was shocked when the Russians launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite. Two months later, the United States suffered disappointment when a Navy Vanguard rocket, with its satellite payload, failed to develop sufficient thrust and toppled over on the launch pad.

The P-38 shown in this photo was one of the fighters built in the late 1930s and early 1940s that experienced compressibility effects. In steep dives, these aircraft could reach speeds above Mach 0.75 (called transonic). At transonic speeds, air in front of the wings became compressed and reached supersonic speeds as it flowed over the wings, forming a shock wave. This resulted in an increase in drag and a decrease in lift. Another result was the movement of the wing's center of lift to the...

This is the Boxing Day view of eastern North America, compliments of the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). Snow cover (whitish pixels) is visible across many areas where cloud cover does not obscure the surface, including most of New England and parts of southeastern Canada. A severe winter storm rolled eastward across the central United States between December 23 and 25, 2002, bringing a white Christmas to millions of people in a wide swath stretching from the southern Great...

Interface Configuration Experiment on the Second United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2). Over time the photos show a change in the shape of the interface between a liquid and a gas in a sealed, slightly asymmetrical container. Under the force of Earth's gravity, the interface would remain nearly flat, but in microgravity, the interface shape and location changes significantly in the container, resulting in major shifts of liquid arising from small asymmetries in the container shape.

The verdant oasis of the Nile Delta stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding desert. Dust storms are a major health concern as well as a hazard to navigation. In recent years, the Armed Forces of the...
